It's not an equal game anymore. AMD is leaving nothing for Intel, and even the best Intel processors fail to appeal to gamers, as AMD has better options.
Mindfactory Sales Stats Reveal AMD Maintains its >90% CPU Share in Germany; Amazon US Also Shows How Intel Failed to Even Enter the Top 10 Best Selling CPUs
Yet another monthly CPU sales statistics data reveal that AMD is keeping its dominance in the consumer CPU segment. AMD wasn't lying when it said that it has the best CPUs for every segment, and month after month, we see AMD keeping its CPU share above 90%. This could be lower or higher depending on the region, but one thing is common, which is seeing the top 10 best-selling CPUs being all from AMD.
However, this becomes worse for Intel in regions like Germany, where Intel's best-selling CPUs couldn't even crack the top 20 listings. The best it could do is sell 90 units of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor, which if you compare it to the best selling AMD CPU, is overwhelmingly low. We aren't talking about a 3x or 4x difference here, but a whopping 32X difference in the CPU sales if compared to Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Thankfully, the situation on Amazon US seems fine for the processor, as last month's stats show nearly 2,000 units sold versus 9,000 for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
Nonetheless, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K sits at the 11th spot on Amazon US, and the top 10 positions are secured by AMD's Ryzen 9000, 7000, and 5000 processors. Ryzen 7 9800X3D is still the king on Amazon, and the 7800X3D sits in the 2nd position, and we usually see both competing for the first spot on a regular basis. Ryzen 5000 series is still doing fine and even better than all the Intel CPUs combined, which is, of course, due to the longevity of the AM4 platform and the competitive pricing AMD offers.
Ryzen 5 5500 sells for just $72, and there isn't any competitive 6-core processor from Intel at that price. Ryzen 7000 and 9000 series obviously make up the most of AMD's share, and we have a total of 10,470 units shipped for these processors on Mindfactory. AM4 processors sold about 2,075 units in July, while Intel's Arrow Lake sold only 250 units. Intel's 1700 socket-compatible processors, i.e., the 12th/13th/14th gen, are still outselling Arrow Lake, and shipped around 830 units combined.
All in all, AMD was able to ship 12,545 units on Mindfactory last month with an Average Selling Price fo 320 Euros and Intel maxed out at 1,100 units with an ASP of 247 Euros. The revenue collected by AMD came out to nearly 4M Euros, which accounts for about 93.66% of the total revenue share, and Intel earned around 272K Euros. With such dominance, we should expect AMD to keep its 90% CPU share for the rest of the year since Intel won't be releasing a new generation of processors except for the Arrow Lake Refresh.
